Yes, I sometimes do trash pick. Such was the case with this nice looking tripod that was being thrown out. It was missing a small but critical part called a quick-release. Normally, that would make a tripod like this rather useless. But not for me! After taking some measurements, I designed a basic plate and then printed! Now that I have a plate, I'll only need to stop by the hardware store to buy a screw that fits the camera mount. Sweet!
